My students are having a hard time with pencil boxes, so pencil cases would make transition time easier for my students. They also get overwhelmed easy for being in school for such a long day, so fidgets would help get them ready to learn! Light filters would make the harsh lighting in our room more welcoming so that students will be more ready to learn. Many of my students have never been to school before, so I want to make sure my classroom is as welcoming and comfortable as possible!
